Sale tracking St Helens starlet

SALE Sharks are among a number of top rugby union clubs monitoring the progress of St Helens' rising half-back star Kyle Eastmond. The highly-talented Oldham youngster is one of the hottest properties in rugby league and he could be up for grabs when his contract with Saints expires at the end of next season. Saints bosses will be naturally keen to retain Eastmond, but they are already aware of fierce competition for his signature from within rugby union.
